The reduction of 2-nitrophenylacetic acid to oxindoles promoted by SmI2 is reported for the first time. This reaction involving the reduction of nitro group proceeds through N-O bond cleavage and direct condensation with the neighboring carboxyl group. From a synthetic point of view, a new method for the synthesis of oxindoles in mild neutral conditions is developed.

We report herein an iterative assembly of chiral alcohol building blocks utilizing cyanomethylene trimethylphosphorane (CMMP)-mediated Mitsunobu reactions. 1,3-Benzodithiole tetraoxide (BDT) was used as the platform to prepare long-chain saturated compounds with multiple stereocenters en route to polyisoprenoid natural products. Selectively protected chiral 1,3-butanediols played a key role in iterative chain elongation for the construction of 1,5-dimethyl branched arrays with high stereocontrol.

During the past several decades, Zweifel olefination has emerged as one of the most powerful and reliable tools for constructing C–C double bonds. This reaction features high efficiency, good versatility, nonuse of transition metals, and perfect stereospecificity, which make it superior to many other olefination methods. Since the summary of Zweifel olefination’s 50-years history was published in 2017 by Aggarwal et al., remarkable achievements have been made in terms of employing new organometallic species, proceeding through electrochemical or photochemical pathways, and furnishing new kinds of products. This short review summarizes and discusses the very recent progress in Zweifel olefination and its latest application in natural products synthesis. 1 Introduction 2 Zweifel Olefination with New Organometallic Species 3 Zweifel Olefination with New Migrating Groups 4 Electrochemical and Photocatalyzed Zweifel Olefination 5 New Elimination and Migration Patterns of Zweifel Olefination 6 Zweifel Olefination in Natural Product Synthesis 7 Other Reactions Involving the Zweifel Olefination Mechanism 8 Conclusions and Outlook

A photocatalyzed one-pot borylation of haloarene and reduction of aldehyde by cocatalysis of bis(pinacoloto)diboran/4-phenyl pyridine is reported. The reaction was carried out in a flow reactor by irradiating the reaction at 410nm, with residence time of 10 min. The method was successfully applied for the synthesis of tavaborole in a single step with 81% yield.

This short review summarizes our laboratory's development of benzylboronic esters as nucleophiles. Activation of the benzylboronic ester is achieved by irreversible coordination of an alkyllithium Lewis base to form a nucleophilic benzylboronate. This boronate was found to react with aldehydes, imines, ketones and alkyl bromides. A copper catalyst was employed in reactions of the boronate with epoxides and aziridines.

Heteroatom-embedded polycyclic aromatic compounds (hetero-PACs) are a class of organic compounds contributing to a variety of research fields such as materials science, chemical biology and so on. For applications using hetero-PACs, efficient preparation of hetero-PACs is essential. In particular, reactions transforming unfunctionalized aromatic compounds to hetero-PACs using appropriate heteroatom-containing aromatic compounds (π-extending agents) represent the most ideal way to prepare hetero-PACs. In this review, such heteroatom-embedding annulative π-extension (hetero-APEX) reactions including their reaction mechanisms and scope of substrates are described.
